COMPANY:
The battle of Yorktown. 1781
"Hey, this is where the British gave up!" They all nodded, but they sad smile don their face. "This means that the show is soon over. (An- I made it so that they think it's only one act. But I will add both.don't worry)

LAFAYETTE:
Monsieur Hamilton

HAMILTON:
Monsieur Lafayette

LAFAYETTE:
In command where you belong
"Thank you Laf. It really means a lot." Lafayette nodded acknowledging.
HAMILTON:
How you say, no sweat
We're finally on the field. We've had quite a run
They all nodded, well, expect for Jefferson.

LAFAYETTE:
Immigrants:

HAMILTON/LAFAYETTE:
We get the job done
Suddenly they heard a lot of cheering. "Why are they shouting?" Lafayette asked. The others shrugged but made a mental note to ask you or Lin about it later.

HAMILTON:
So what happens if we win?

LAFAYETTE:
I go back to France
I bring freedom to my people if I'm given the chance
"I need to ask Y/N about that."

HAMILTON:
We'll be with you when you do
"Really Alex... you will?" "Shut up Jefferson."
LAFAYETTE:
Go lead your men

HAMILTON:
See you on the other side

LAFAYETTE:
'Til we meet again, let's go!
"Let's goooooo"

ENSEMBLE:
I am not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!
"Yey, this song again." Hercules shouted. The others just shook their heads in amusement.
Hey yo, I'm just like my country, I'm young
Scrappy and hungry
And I'm not throwin' away my shot!
I am not throwin' away my shot!

HAMILTON:
'Til the world turns upside down...
"Isn't that a British drinking song?" "I think it is mon amis."

ENSEMBLE:
'Til the world turns upside down!

HAMILTON:
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
This is where it gets me: on my feet
"Tata is very positive thinking son." "I'm sorry, sir."
The enemy ahead of me
If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me
They all looked very proud at this point.
Weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me
"Yeah, be sure that all that matters. Isn't it Alex? Not your wife or son but you work." Jefferson said.
Then I remember my Eliza's expecting me...
"You said something Jeff." He just looked down in his lap.
Not only that, my Eliza's expecting
We gotta go, gotta get the job done
Gotta start a new nation, gotta meet my son!
'I really cared a lot for them before.' Alex thought glumly to himself.
Take the bullets out your gun!
"What!"
ENSEMBLE:
What?

HAMILTON:
The bullets out your gun!

ENSEMBLE:
What?
"Yeah, why would you do that Alex?" He smirked and signaled for Jefferson to wait.

HAMILTON:
We move under cover and we move as one
Through the night, we have one shot to live another day
"Do not throw away your shot."
We cannot let a stray gunshot give us away
"Oh so you're hiding?" No one answered Jefferson . He would just have to wait and see.
We will fight up close, seize the moment and stay in it
It's either that or meet the business end of a bayonet
The code word is 'Rochambeau,' dig me?
"What king of word is that mon amie?" Alex shrugged.

ENSEMBLE:
Rochambeau!

HAMILTON:
You have your orders now, go, man, go!
And so the American experiment begins
With my friends all scattered to the winds
"That doesn't sound like you think Lin." Hercules laughed.
Laurens is in South Carolina, redefining brav'ry

HAMILTON/LAURENS:
We'll never be free until we end slavery!
"Whooop"

HAMILTON:
When we finally drive the British away
Lafayette is there waiting—

HAMILTON/LAFAYETTE:
In Chesapeake Bay!
"It was a really good plan." They all nodded.

HAMILTON:
How did we know that this plan would work?
'I'm asking the same thing' Thomas thought.
We had a spy on the inside. That's right

HAMILTON/COMPANY:
Hercules Mulligan!
"What! You where a spy!?" Jefferson asked/shouted at Mulligan. He looked proudly on forward.

MULLIGAN:
A tailor spyin' on the British government! I
I take their measurements, information and then I smuggle it
"That was really brave of you mulligan. Thank you for your service." Washington said.

COMPANY:
Up

MULLIGAN:
To my brother's revolutionary covenant
I'm runnin' with the Sons of Liberty and I am lovin' it!
"Whoooop. This is amazing."
See, that's what happens when you up against the ruffians
We in the shit now, somebody gotta shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction
When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again!
"That is actually really good work"

COMPANY:
Left! Right! Hold!
Go!
What! What! What!

HAMILTON:
After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet
"You think this is when they gave up?" John asked no one in particular.

LAFAYETTE:
We lower our guns as he frantically waves a white handkerchief
"To answer your previous question John. Yes. Yes it is."

MULLIGAN:
And just like that, it's over. We tend to our wounded, we count our dead

LAURENS:
Black and white soldiers wonder alike if this really means freedom
"It did. Well for us at least."

WASHINGTON:
Not. Yet
"Y/N!!!"

HAMILTON:
We negotiate the terms of surrender
I see George Washington smile
They all smile. "Y/N looks so proud where she's standing. Like she actually won the war with us." John noted.
We escort their men out of Yorktown
They stagger home single file
Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
"Why screams? Like are they mad?" Jefferson asked.
There are screams and church bells ringing
And as our fallen foes retreat
I hear the drinking song they're singing...

ALL MEN:
The world turned upside down
"See. It's a British drinking song."

FULL COMPANY:
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
The world turned upside down
Down
Down, down, down

LAFAYETTE:
Freedom for America, freedom for France!
"I still need to figure out of France is free." "Oui, me too."

COMPANY:
Down, down, down

HAMILTON:
Gotta start a new nation
Gotta meet my son
"I hope your son was amazing Alex. I'm a sad i never got to meet him." Alex looked at his friend. "He would have loved you John, just like I love you."
COMPANY:
Down, down, down

MULLIGAN:
We won!

MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS:
